Pro Line Fusion suite sparks Collins' synthetic vision plans
Rockwell Collins test pilots spent part of their winter in Alaska putting the synthetic-vision portion of the avionics maker’s new Pro Line Fusion cockpit
Rockwell Collins test pilots spent part of their winter in Alaska putting the synthetic-vision portion of the avionics maker’s new Pro Line Fusion cockpit through its paces in one of the most demanding flight environments in the world.
Collins flight-test crews braved winter’s darkness and unceasing turbulence, flying dozens of low-visibility approaches to Alaskan airports in the company’s Challenger 601 flying test bed. The point of the exercise was to evaluate the SVS’s capabilities in areas of challenging terrain before bringing it to the cockpits of the Bombardier Global Express and Gulfstream G250, the first two OEM models in line to receive the Fusion system.
